Hi everyone ! This is my first MIL post !
Description: Pemphigus Vulgaris
The above image shows multiple vesiculobullous lesions - largest being around 3-5 cm in diameter, well circumscribed, containing clear fluid.
The bullae look flaccid if you look carefully. (LESION A is a Bulla)

Also LESION B shows an erosion - most likely to be a site for a previous bulla that has now ruptured.
The patient was a 65 year old female with such Bullous lesions throughout her body and even in the oral cavity.
Strongly suggested a diagnosis of Pemphigus Vulgaris.
Diagnosis - Confirmed by Histopathology of skin biopsy sample showing intra-epidermal cyst.
Treatment - was refractory to steroids; started on Rituximab.
Image was taken with the patient's consent.
Happy studying!
Stay Awesome!
